What could Clarissa have thought of him? thought him a fool presumably...

Virginia Woolf -- Mrs. Dalloway

...she was presumably engaged to a man from New Orleans.

F. Scott Fitzgerald -- The Great Gatsby

Nor did one know what became of them, apart from the few who were hanged as war-criminals: the others simply vanished, presumably into forced-labour camps.

George Orwell -- 1984

Presumably — since he had sometimes seen her with oily hands and carrying a spanner she had some mechanical job on one of the novel-writing machines.

George Orwell -- 1984

The bird is labeled American Bald Eagle, and it looks like it’s about to fall directly on top of a couple sitting on a bench—Cupid’s original target, presumably.

Lauren Oliver -- Before I Fall

It was a smaller version of the boys’ dorm, just four bunk beds, two dressers and a closed door, presumably leading to another bathroom.

James Dashner -- The Scorch Trials

But it’s Hannah, which is a real woman, presumably like me.

Gillian Flynn -- Gone Girl

He conversed back and forth for a moment with Henri in Finnish, presumably catching him up on what just happened.

Kiera Cass -- The Heir

Presumably that’s what Sebastian’s here for—the weapons.

Cassandra Clare -- City of Heavenly Fire

Mark didift have to look to know that the landing pad—presumably with a Berg perched on top—had begun to sink into the ground.

James Dashner -- The Kill Order

Presumably, those seventeen people were kidding. lie mulled this over—and considered how twenty-five of his classmates, some of whom he’d been attending school with for twelve years, could possibly have wanted to "know him better."

John Green -- An Abundance of Katherines

(Presumably, lots and lots of marijuana.

Rainbow Rowell -- Eleanor & Park

But Georgia was holding it over the water, presumably for the benefit of Mae and her viewers.

Dave Eggers -- The Circle

Hundreds of men had gone missing during the military campaign, presumably picked up by the army or ISI, but no one would say.

Malala Yousafzai -- I Am Malala

Horace and Hugh did the same, and then the others—all but Millard, who had slipped away, unseen, presumably to lurk nearby, waiting and watching.

Ransom Riggs -- Hollow City

Presumptions of guilt, poverty, racial bias, and a host of other social, structural, and political dynamics have created a system that is defined by error, a system in which thousands of innocent people now suffer in prison.

Bryan Stevenson -- Just Mercy

An adult of the arctic race could eat ( and presumably did on favorable occasions) thirty pounds of raw meat at a sitting.

Farley Mowat -- Never Cry Wolf

I heard her muse, presumably to Arwyl.

Patrick Rothfuss -- The Name of the Wind

I felt badly for them, of course, knowing that they must be losing a decent amount of money, and that they were presumably stemming their losses with this very quick closing.

Chang-rae Lee -- A Gesture Life

While his sister-in-law and a friend of the family, Mr. Wood, continued to pack, Frear got the children into a wagon and took them to another friend’s house ten blocks away (and presumably well out of the path of the fire).

Jim Murphy -- The Great Fire

Since Red was the one telling this story, there was no knowing what Merrick’s friends did, but presumably they ate in some joint and then caught a movie, maybe, or went dancing.

Anne Tayler -- A Spool of Blue Thread

Presumably.

David Baldacci -- Zero Day

It is presumably hollow but with no discernible hinges, no nails, no attachment points; it looks like a solid block of highly polished wood.

Anthony Doerr -- All the Light We Cannot See

I’m flat on the couch, presumably where he laid me after carrying me inside.

Colleen Hoover -- Hopeless

He is staring at something I cannot see—some door, presumably, farther down the hall.

Lauren Oliver -- Delirium

Nor could I see the necessity for the complete undressing: when we finally reached the examining room a doctor looked down each throat, another—a dentist presumably—at our teeth, a third in between each finger.

Corrie Ten Boom -- The Hiding Place

When my great-grandfather died in a hunting accident around the end of the century, his will made no mention of the coins—presumably for the very good reason that he had passed the money along to his daughter.

William Styron -- Sophie’s Choice

I padded to the bathroom in my nightshirt—mentally blocking the question of how I’d changed into it, since I’d presumably been wearing clothes when Patch brought me home—and sped through my morning routine.

Becca Fitzpatrick -- Hush, Hush

"Presumably not gents’ knee-length step-ins," I said dryly.

Diana Gabaldon -- Outlander

Abdullah, presumably, wanted the best, and Reliant considered themselves the best, certainly the biggest, twice as big as their closest U.S. competitor.
